Pit Stop

The menu,however,mostly contains the usual suspects. There are pizzas,club sandwiches and bits from here and there. You can ask for a Malaysian broth (Rs 140) from its soup section,a Vegetable tagine (Rs 300) from its main course or fork in some Penno Pesto (Rs 290). The highlight of the menu is Herbed Chicken Schnitzel (Rs 280),an Aussie favourite. It offers two thin patties of chicken with a deliciously crunchy skin served with a heap of fried potato sticks. The café also serves beef burger (for Rs 350). We were keen on trying the Pizza Oz (Rs 420) which promised loads of barbequed chicken and rocket leaves,but the pizza oven wasn’t ready. Instead,we opted for the tagine. A large plate of well-spiced cous cous blanketed with a layer of curried vegetables was served to us. If you want to keep your dishes classically prepared and presented,skip this one for now. Instead of the tagine pots,the chef is currently using regular skillets to rustle up this dish.

Desserts are generously portioned. We could barely finish our Zuccotto cake (Rs 195),a gooey chocolate cake,and Orange Polenta cake (Rs 89),that offered a large triangle of bright yellow cheese cake topped with orange jelly.
